— Why Empire
Why Athletic Programs Chooser
Empire Coach Line.
Empire Coach Line is a direct fleet operator. We own our coaches and employ our drivers. When you book transportation for your team you, are booking directly with the company operating the vehicle, not a broker coordinating with whoever is available that day.
Athletic transportation requires consistency. Delays, vehicle substitutions, and communication breakdowns can affect the entire program. By owning our fleet and employing our drivers directly, Empire maintains control over the vehicles, drivers, and operations supporting each trip.

We own every coach in our fleet and employ every driver directly. Your team travels on Empire-operated vehicles with professional drivers who meet our safety and service standards.

Every athletic program that works with Empire has a dedicated point of contact. One person who knows your schedule, your routes, and your team’s needs.
Equipment Ready for Every Trip
Every Empire motorcoach includes large undercarriage storage bays for equipment bags, gear, and supplies. Your team’s equipment travels with the team.
24/7 Dispatch and Operations
Early morning departures for away games, late returns after overtime — Empire’s operations team is available around the clock for every trip.

What is the best way to transport a sports team from Orlando to an away game in Florida?

Motorcoaches also provide undercarriage storage for athletic gear and comfortable seating for longer trips. Empire Coach Line provides sports team transportation from Orlando to away games, tournaments, and championship destinations throughout Florida and the Southeast.
Do charter bus companies in Orlando offer season-long transportation for athletic programs?
Yes. Empire Coach Line works with schools and athletic programs that need recurring transportation throughout the season for away games, tournaments, championships, and other team travel. An ongoing transportation relationship can simplify scheduling and give the athletic department a consistent point of contact familiar with its teams, calendar, routes, and transportation requirements.
What should an athletic program look for when choosing a charter bus company?
Athletic programs should consider the operator’s safety record, fleet capacity, driver qualifications, vehicle maintenance, equipment storage, dispatch support, and ability to accommodate schedule changes and multi-day travel. It is also important to understand whether the company operates its own vehicles or relies on third-party operators. Empire Coach Line owns and operates its motorcoach fleet, employs its drivers, maintains its vehicles in-house, and provides 24/7 operations and dispatch support.
Do you provide transportation for professional teams visiting Orlando?
Yes. Empire Coach Line supports professional and collegiate teams traveling to Orlando for games, tournaments, training, and other athletic events. Transportation can include airport arrivals and departures, hotel transfers, practice facility movements, game-day transportation, and other scheduled team movements throughout the visit.

Yes. Empire motorcoaches have large undercarriage storage bays that can accommodate athletic bags, equipment trunks, coolers, training supplies, uniforms, and other team gear. For teams traveling with unusually large or specialized equipment, contact our team with your requirements so we can confirm the appropriate vehicle and storage capacity.
Can you provide transportation for a team traveling to Orlando for a tournament?
Yes. Empire provides ground transportation for visiting teams competing throughout Orlando and Central Florida.

How far in advance should I book charter bus transportation for a sports team?
For regular-season away games and tournaments, booking several weeks in advance generally provides better vehicle availability. High-demand tournament weekends, championship events, and trips requiring multiple coaches should be arranged as early as possible. Empire can also accommodate shorter-notice requests when fleet availability allows, so teams with an upcoming trip should still contact us even if the travel date is close.
